I have had the privilege of helping to create the “Pagan gateway” on Patheos.com<\/a>, a new interfaith religious portal site designed to help people find “ credible, comprehensive, easily accessible information on religion and spirituality<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Time’s<\/span> article on the overall Patheos site<\/a> produced some picky responses on the GetReligion blog.<\/a><\/p>\n

The “Arts & Entertainment” link is not yet working, but will have information on musicians, movies, and so on.<\/p>\n
